Falling Skies ends strong, Futurama slips + 49 other genre shows

Share This Post

True Blood may still be Sunday's top show, but Falling Skies continues to make an impact.

The TNT alien drama ended its third season Sunday with a boost to both its viewers and its demo score, setting up a fourth season despite season-three numbers that weren't quite on par with season two. Meanwhile, Futurama took a bit of a drop, Sinbad and Zero Hour both ended their runs, and Teen Wolf stayed solid for MTV.

Check out the numbers and commentary below to see how your favorite shows are doing in Live + Same Day ratings.

For a while there it looked like Under the Dome was going to keep sliding down, but this week it posted its third straight broadcast with more than 11 million viewers. No wonder it got picked up for a second season.
